Access 2007 database with Vista Platform

I have a database in Access 2007, converted from 2003, and am trying to run
it with a Vista platform. I have added its folder to the trusted sites and
therefore do not get the "stop all macros" message. But.....

(BTW, I have very successfully executed this 2007 database on an XP platform
but when I attempt it on a Vista platform it will not work.)

Upon execution, I get the infamous error message "Read Only This database
has been opened read-only. You can only change data in linked tables......."

I am not trying to design just run, changing data in the linked tables. So I
ignore the message but am NOT able to change any data in linked tables. I
must run it in the original folder and therefore do not want to copy it to
some other folder. ????

I am using the built-in switchboard an am able to navigate through it
without difficulty. However, when I try to view my main edit screen, it
appears totally blank except for the specified background.

I have search the internet without success to resolve this problem. Can
anyone point me to a solution?

Thanks for ANY help someone can supply!!
Don
